I have created a special Invitation Card using the lovely Magical Meg stamp image from Penny Johnson 2011 Autumn-Winter collection.
Yes … it is a Cristal Dinner
And
… Meg will graciously host the magical and enchanting evening
Let's get to work and prepare the sample invitation.
Card Background: I used the Sand Structure Paste to create a uneven pattern … let it dry overnight … I have the Dusty Attic Chicken Wire Panel chipboard attached to the paper … brushed with Gesso and Glimmer Paint … Punch out few autumn leaves and distress the edges with Distress Vintage Photo Ink … add some accents on the background with punched bats and flowers.
TIP: Dusty Attic Chicken Wire Panel chipboard – once the chipboard is ready, bend it a little bit making a curve.
Magical Meg: I used Copic Markers and colored pencils plus lots of Atyou Spica pens to give some glow … even the hair – it is totally glowed up … then I cut and attached it outside the Dustic Attic Chicken Wire … the moon and stars were stamped on the Tim Holtz Journal Tickets … printed the YOU'RE INVITED in a vellum then attach it to the Journal Ticket.
TIP: Once I finish coloring the image, I airbrushed the image with Copic Cool Gray to desaturate the color a little bit. I want to make the colors more realistic.

Magical Meg's Cristal Dinner Invitation
is on its way!
Note from Jing's messy desk: I love to airbrush the image as final touches especially if I use bright colors. I use more Cool Gray to desaturate the colored image. Check out the helpful hints from Colleen's post at Copic Australia.
